I confirm that plasma-firewall thinks ufw is disabled although I verified it is enabled using systemctl status ufw.
When I try to “enable” the firewall using plasma-firewall in the System Settings GUI I get an error:
Error enabling firewall: An error occurred in command 'setStatus':
How to fix `plasma-firewall` error in System Settings GUI when running `ufw`
Open /usr/lib/kde_ufw_plugin_helper.py and change the first line from #!/usr/bin/python3.11 to #!/usr/bin/python3.12. This fixed the issue for me immediately and makes sense since Manjaro is currently on Python 3.12.
May I ask what is a total noob question? I’m use BTRFS and a snapshot is automatically taken prior to any update/upgrade. If I perform this latest system update and things go completely south, is it really as easy to recover as I think?
Reboot computer
At Grub menu, reboot from a snapshot
Once the snapshot boots, run Timeshift and restore the same snapshot.
Reboot
From Grub menu, select the normal Manjaro boot option.
Computer boots successfully in pre-update state and I give a sigh of relief.
I’ve done some searching on this and have not found a ton of clarity on restoring from a BTRFS snapshot, and I just want to be prepared. I acknowledge that I should probably know this already as I deliberately chose BTRFS for its recovery capabilities.
I’m getting this error, too. I try installing the 6.6 or 6.8 kernel as suggested and I keep getting this error message so the whole process stops. Do I need to uninstall the nvidia driver first?
Im on Manjaro KDE and I can’t even load the tty in the first place. I press control,alt,F3 or any other function Key and all I get is a black background. This is the first time this happens and I don’t even know where to begin.
This is before updating anything. I want to go into the tty to do the update as is recommended for this update.
I would like to express my gratitude. Before the update, I tried everything to achieve the same sound quality I had on Windows with my Astro A40. After the update, the quality improved significantly. Thank you very much!
No big issues so far on my installation. I went down the risky route of not resetting Plasma settings, just logged out, logged in through a tty, created a snapshot, removed some eventually-problematic AUR packages like linux-firmware-git, ran pacman -Syu and rebooted. (Also updated the kernel to 6.9.0-1 later on)
Things that I encountered:
Window Title Widget didn’t work anymore. Replaced it with a Plasma 6 port.
Font in Konsole got reset to a non-nerd-font (already mentioned here in the thread). Needed to re-set fixed-width-font in System Settings to what I had before (Hack Nerd Font).
Some python venv of mine wasn’t able to find packages anymore (somebody posted a similar error here in the thread) Not sure how python updates are usually handled but I would expect pip-packages to be re-installed or if possible - copied over from the previous version.
Found quite some orphaned packages and selectively removed all connected to kde/plasma
Overall, based on what I read here I was already nervous but seems like I got lucky today
Update: Had to remove all links since it’s my first post but it should still be easy to find out what I’m referring to
Ok a crazy thing happened, I was actually able to do the system update (KDE) logged in normally without the tty. I know it was a big risk but it somehow worked out… Miraculously nothing is broken so far as I can see.
However I still can’t access the tty, neither before updating nor after. It just gives a blank screen when I try. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
A nooby answer to that too: In the default case, yes. There is however a daily max for the number of Timeshift snapshots, so if you made some snapshots today already, this may get skipped.
There should be some pop up message: “You are running a snapshoft. Do you want to restore it?”
If you can still boot normally you can also restore a snapshot from the Timeshift gui. It will inform you that it’s going to boot into this snapshot on the next reboot.
pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.11/ in Post #1 results in 210 files while pacman -Qmq $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.${OLD}/site-packages) returns only on AUR package.
Ah no i’m on a desktop PC, I wish it was a simple Fn key thing but it’s not… It switches to the tty but the screen is black, there’s no text or login prompt or anything… I have no idea when this issue started either…
